On this day, 45 years ago, #Visage released their debut album "Visage" including their breakout hit "Fade To Grey". Dan LeRoy for AllMusic wrote "this is the music that best represents the short-lived but always underrated #newromantic movement", calling it "a consistently fine creation".

Larry Summers is a beautiful name. should’ve gone to a better guy

Attacking a federal district judge as an “activist” for issuing a lawful ruling is an assault on judicial independence. A democracy cannot function when executive agencies denigrate judges for doing their jobs.

"The reason why this is of concern, is—he's the president of the United States, he's been found in another case by a civil jury to have been liable for sexually abusing a woman in a department store, he's a convicted felon, and he's had dozens of women accuse him of sexual abuse."

Wtf

Just a reminder, the coward who refused to accept an election loss in 2020 and then committed crimes trying to overthrow that election will certainly cheat, abuse his powers, and break the law to try to win the 2026 & 2028 elections. He’s a real threat to democracy. Believe it.

The furor over the death of a Colombian fisherman has ignited a feud over the huge U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean and the legality of the deadly attacks on nearly 20 vessels since September.

it makes me happy to hear Church leaders speaking up for immigrants.

Ultimately I think most Americans just want the healthcare and housing security currently available to Ghislaine Maxwell.

Nixon had a gap in the tape recordings because of an alleged Rosemary Woods error; what is Halligan s excuse for a gap in the Comey grand jury recording? Very suspicious.

Megyn Kelly busting out the “Barely Legal” defense on her own show to defend the President and Epstein… I keep thinking about how she discovered blackface was offensive at the age of 47

It seems like Katie Wilson's election as Seattle's mayor is being met with disbelief that she can do the job. Am I wrong? And isn't her election very affirming of the idea of democracy?

Trump has done enormous harm to the country. He is a deeply corrupt and venal man. He is wildly unpopular, his agenda more so. He's lost the consent of the governed. He is old, infirm & clearly no longer mentally competent to run a nation. It is time now to start talking about him moving on👇

"Credulity in the excuse of racism is racism."

Jeffrey Epstein advised Steve Bannon during 2018 pro-Trump media campaign

One other thing that is of note about the Epstein files— like one in 100 of them concerns financial dealings, how the markets are performing, etc. Having reviewed a lot of emails in securities fraud cases, this is not what the email traffic of a trader/broker/money manager typically looks like.

PRISON PROVIDES PUPPY TO MONSTER MAXWELL

Vance is owned by foreign-born oligarchs like Thiel, and he will always put their interests before the interests of Americans. Grok is trash

Who did the exploiting?

CSPAN you say

I never want to wait for a post credit scene again for the rest of my life. If you want me to think it's part of the movie, put it in the movie.

WATCH: @raskin.house.gov explains the deal that would allow eight GOP senators lucrative lawsuits over phone record subpoenas: "It's certainly the most corrupt provision authorizing financial self-dealing and plunder of the public passed by Congress in this century."

Just throwing this out there for reasons apnews.com/article/2022...

#BBC apologises to #Trump over edited speech but rejects compensation claim - www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n... the right response; he's all mouth and no trousers...

💯%!! And similarly, I don't care if your name's somehow in the file because you just happened to delivery a pizza to Epstein's house one random day. You need to tell your story under oath to clear your name and give details on anything you may have seen while at the damn door.

Turns out “don’t be evil” actually means “automate evil”

“A recent response from the European Commission to our access to documents request not only revealed that the President of the Commission was repeating the words of tech CEOs, but it also accidentally divulged the Commission’s use of generative AI in public documents.” 🤦‍♂️

I give Catholic bishops a hard time often for all the obvious reasons, but this is beautiful and loving, and I'm deeply grateful to hear it. This can change hearts and save lives.

Oh!

Deep dive, excellent reporting on indirect links between Bill Gates and Trump via a Gates Foundation physician amd Epstein during Trump's first term. Epstein claimed access to Trump despite their longstanding rift.

Hegseth has a memorial to Black Soldiers who fought in World War II removed from an American military cemetery in The Netherlands. Pure racism. www.cnn.com/2025/11/13/p...

This has been the endgame all along: authoritarian theocracy. State sanctioned & mandated religion. Total control of everyday life. Please don’t say it can’t happen here because it’s happening now.

Lemme see if I've got this right... 15-year-old girls are "barely legal" but 20-something men in a Young Republican group chat are a "bunch of kids."

Here he’s just admitting that his hillbilly elegy narrative was a lie and he despises people who do low wage work

"That's an insult to Oh for the love of God put a sock in it.

All too often a ticket into various elite spheres is a willingness to keep yr mouth shut & use power only for yrself & cronies. "Elites" my ass. I've seen people with no money throw their lives, careers, bodies in the path of danger too many times to have any respect for cowardly behavior at the top

So wretched that we have elevated the vicious poseur James Donald Bowman David Hamel Backpfeifengesicht David Vance to a place he can ventilate what he’s been provided by the likes of dull maniacs like Thiel and Yarvin.

In a past life I worked at Time Inc. and had to help organize a panel that involved Michael Wolff and in his professional bio he described himself as an "enfant terrible" — which I think says everything?

"Looks legal to a passerby" is nasty work, Megyn Kelly.

Has Bill Gates made any comments about the Epstein emails? (which are obviously not the files)

NYT journalists: how dare you accuse me of belonging to an organization that systematically demeans women and victims of sexual trafficking NYT today: this greedy kid wanted money for braces and so ended up becoming sexually trafficked. The real victim? Matt Gaetz

Hot take: Generation designators (X, Millennial, Y) are dumb, and about as reliable a predictor of character, as the Zodiac. It’s just more tribalism that keeps us divided

I wonder how many people will never hear from their loved ones again because of this shit. A real life horror show.

Bishops.

What a homely monster

When it happens…
